The 8th Annual Trebuchet Egg Throw Contest will be held on Friday, April 17, 2015 at Bettendorf High School.  25 Teams with 101 students from 5 high schools are scheduled to participate.   The competition was open to high schools teams from Iowa and Illinois as part of the QC High School Tech Challenge.

Bad Weather Plans: We plan to hold the event even if it rains unless we encounter extreme conditions (rain all day, lighting or high winds) . If we decide to cancel for the entire day, we will send out an e-mail by 8:00 AM to the teams on Friday morning which is unlikely and if so, the event will be rescheduled for the following Monday.
